Some outfits get styled. Ananya Panday’s recent gown got engineered. Outfit in question, her latest red carpet appearance, a deep bronze gown from Rahul Mishra’s Fall 2026 couture line, “Devi: The Eternal Muse”, didn’t so much dress a body as translate one, borrowing its entire vocabulary from stone instead of a sketchbook. In a season of safe, […]

If there’s one thread running through Khushi Kapoor’s festive wardrobe this year, it’s petals. Not the loud, obvious kind, the ones that whisper through hand embroidery, appliqué, and thread work, turning up on everything from bridesmaid looks to runway-off-duty glamour. She’s quietly become the reference point for anyone who wants their lehenga to feel like a garden caught mid-bloom rather than a costume. Here’s a walk through five […]
